I went to the place near Hana. Had a very unattracted 60+ year old who spoke no English and had 3 teeth. LAX on draping and lots of gluteal massage, but not much else (not that I would even want to!
The other girl was younger (but probably 40's} and was wearing a kind of shorter dress, so I'm not sure what the deal would have been with her.
They had no problem barging in the room while I was still naked and changing. A bit odd.
So, you visited this person / place blind??
Happy Mongering!!

[QUOTE=SuperJimmyC;4150015]So, you visited this person / place blind??[/QUOTE]Sure, discourage people from taking risks and reporting. Let's see how that goes.
Gents,
Stopped by today before lunch time. Called ahead to see if my favorite Sofia was in. Ma said she was hurt and out for at least a few months. Told myself before calling if she wasn't in its not worth going. Boy am I glad Ididn't listen to myself haha. Greeted by new ma I've never seen before, made me a little nervous for some reason but again, went against my gut. Only had time for 30 min and she took me to the room. Shortly after in walks Blue. Older, late 30's early 40's maybe. 6 or 7 out of 10. Average build and deceptively top heavy. Meh back rub with above average tease giving me the green light. She initially tries to upsell me. 1 and I immediately shut that down with my normal. 6 for tHE preferred finish. Didn't ask but FS may have been on the table, which for those who know the place is new territory. Anyways flip and it's surprisingly good. She whips out her big Cs maybe Ds and starts speaking Russian, if you catch my drift. I just about lost it haha. Goes for a minute or two then switched to hanual. Good technique, but I tell her to finish speaking Russian and she happily obliges. I'm literally on cloud nine. I rarely go against my gut and it definitely paid off. Probably best visit I've ever had. I am either retiring, or taking along break to figure out where I go from here.

Thank you.
I tried it out today. It is indeed Asian, and I got a superb massage that included a facial mask and best foot massage ever. But as far as I can see, it is totally legit, no extras hinted at, and I was covered at all times. . 6 for the hour, and a. 2 tip for a job well done. I will probably return when that is what I want.
[QUOTE=DCHung;4148657]Lots of legit reviews on yelp and google. I wouldn't even try asking for extras.
[URL]https://www.yelp.com/biz/asian-healing-spa-columbia[/URL][/QUOTE]I went to Asian healing once, with terrible back cramps, looking for a legit massage.
This place gave me a GUY (I didn't mind since my back was killing me) and he was way too soft and gave a terrible massage.
G-man, I dare say that you are unlikely to get much else in the downtown suburbs of the soccer-mom hell that is Columbia. However, good to know the good spots for a legit massage.

Kind of off-topic, but what happens if a female walks into one of these places, unaware of the dreams that are had here?
Do they just get legit service?
[QUOTE=JamesRussells;4179957]Kind of off-topic, but what happens if a female walks into one of these places, unaware of the dreams that are had here?

And I know there are ladies who like ladies who come in and can get extra services, depending on the spa and the masseuse involved. But I can't vouch for every spa out there. I have a friend who worked in spas for several years who hilariously imitates the looks on the faces of some such innocents if it suddenly dawned on them what sort of services the place normally provided. But she also said she was fine with giving a regular massage (she actually went to massage school and has a license) now and then, even though the tips were usually smaller than the HJ standard.
Yes, I went blind. Was only looking for a legit massage, and if anything else happened, so be it.
I returned. Lax with draping, she even let me go without it. The staff here is not attractive whatsoever.
They allow self service but will not touch the goodies at all.
I would say there was a fair amount of teasing.
Very cheap for legit massage. $50 for an hour.

(Once a few years ago I took a girlfriend to a place I had previously visited for a very entertaining session. Our couples massage was completely professional and circumspect, to my surprise and disappointment.) In MoCo in particular, I see women as often as I see men in places that used to cater to primarily male clientele, and I assume we all get the same service.
In the few places left that operate in the open like some of the PG County spas, if a civilian walks in, they quickly figure out the score if the reviews left on Yelp and Google Maps are any indication.
Has anybody been to the one location in Elkridge, further north along Rt 1?
It used to be called Oriental, now it's Ace.
Caved on Friday during lunch and rolled the dice hoping to see blue again. Ma said she wasn't in and I went anyway. Pulled candy. Younger looking, thin frame though not really spinner. Small up top nothing like blue. I'd say 7/10. Above average massage seems like she's actually trained. Good tease then flip. Asked for 1 for b2 b. Ideclined hoping she'd be as forthcoming as blue. Not the case and. 6 tip. Allowed otc but that's it. Also alittle to rough on the rub. Had to tell her to take it easy. Definitely won't pick her again as an option there.

My back's been killing me forever from an injury, and I'd been to a legit spa once but did not enjoy. Decided Ace as it's been there forever in some form or another and reasonably convenient. Got there on a Saturday night around 8:30 pm, parked out front, walked in, pushed the buzzer briefly and nervously smiled at the camera. Older woman in a blue smock answers and I ask for an hour sweedish. She kinda snarls seveny bucks and leads me back to a room, I hand her 80 and reflexively say change please then I'm left alone in the room. Seems clean, fresh, and warm. Maybe five minutes later someone not the old lady walks in and hands me change. She's attractive, maybe mid-30's early 40's but I suck at numbers. Attractive but not good english. We're both confused but I quickly learn that she's there for me as she stands me up and gives me a big hug. I hug her back and tells her it's my first time, where my injury is, and that I want a soft touch. She says first time here and I say first time ever, she looks puzzled then decided I should really be naked right now. Not worrying about modesty I drop everything and wrap up in the towel she hands me as she leads me down the hall into a shower. She took the towel, led me in, warmed the water, rinsed me down and washed me off thoroughly. Next a towel down and sauna for a bit, then she comes in and we're about to leave but then a scramble back behind the sauna door because someone else is moving around. Finally all clear and she leads me back to the room and does a great number on my back, I'm happy there. I do hear one other person come in but quickly ignore the racket. As she's working my back there are stray hand motions, I grunt a bit and she tells me to be quiet however she allows me to reciprocate which I think she enjoyed but who knows. She tells me to flip over and asks about the tip sincerely specifying nothing. I'd walked in with a thought of fifty tip anyway, which I offered. She play acted hurt and mumbled something that included hundred, I gave her my last twenty and said that's all I've got but I'll be back. She completed traditional while Sweet Emotion played on the radio and I almost got the giggles while she grabbed a hot towel. I get dressed and she leads me by the hand and out I go. I did return but that's another post. Peace.
